But can someone reiterate the
difference between the above and
for($foo){
print I am not a $foo\n;
# or:
print I am not a ;
print;
}
Try this under the current for system, cause it's unclear what will happen
for those new to Perl:
$foo=monkey; $_= coward;
for($foo){
Why would you want it to print Monkey Hero, I would expect $_ to be
localized, rather than global, which could prove more convenient.
No, it's still localized.
But the With would mean that $_ in a way becomes a normal variable like $foo
was, and the $foo is now the 'default variable'.
Like I am not a
coward which can be easily done with print I am not a $_; will now have
to be written in two separate lines, and possibly more if there is more to
follow.

Um, of course the original way is still possible!
